in the corner

i was sitting the corner

not like i used too

this time was different

this time, i choose to

i cross my fingers

and hold the lamp

walking this endless trail

i hope this isnt a trap

further down, i see you

hiding behind that mask

we both pause

with several questions

i would ask

with none you answer

i knew it wouldn't last

left with just the taste

and an unexpressed vacant face

i flee the scene

which now has turned into a dream

eyes are open

with a silent scream

now i need a plan

to escape this baron land

just moving by hand

across this paper

no one will understand

*bring me riches

bring me jewels

bring me the dreams

of discouraged fools

when will you stop

and see what you have done

your words are bullets

and your mouth is a gun

never thinking

or looking back

oblivious to your own attack

i am not your friend

you are to heavy on the burden

by tomorrow morning

you'll be a different person

dragging more behind you

thats for certain.
